WNOR-FM (Chesapeake, VA)
VerifiedRadio
WNOR is an Active Rock formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Norfolk, Virginia, serving Hampton Roads and Northeastern North Carolina. WNOR is owned and operated by Saga Communications. During the 60s WNOR-FM was an easy listening station, and at one point employed an all-female air staff, a revolutionary move at the time. In 1969 the station began airing a progressive rock format from 9pm-6am. They abandoned the "split-format" approach in 1974 and began playing rock full-time. The station’s Arbitron ratings quickly took off, culminating in the station’s rise to #1 – the first time an FM station in the Norfolk market had achieved #1 status. Source
